SUMMARY:What is the Boston Regional Intelligence Center?
DESCRIPTION:Jamaica Plain Progressives will organize a Q&A session with three members of the Boston City Council on April 2nd at 6:30pm in Jamaica Plain where we will seek to understand more about the Boston Regional Intelligence Center (BRIC). \nBRIC is a fusion center that includes collaboration with federal agencies like the FBI\, DHS\, as well as several municipalities in the greater Boston area. We know from public records request the BRIC has been tracking members of the Palestinian solidarity movement. This is also where local police share data with ICE for general enforcement efforts against the immigrant community. \nThe cities that participate in this fusion center include Brookline\, Boston\, Cambridge\, Chelsea\, Everett\, Quincy\, Revere\, Somerville\, and Winthrop. \nEvery year\, local government has to approve grants from municipal police agencies which is a way to push back against funding for the BRIC. This Q&A session will feature Boston City Councilor At Large Henry Santana who is also the Chair of the Public Safety Committee\,  district 6 City Councilor Ben Weber\, and City Councilor At-Large Julia Mejia to answer our questions about the BRIC. \nThis event might be a useful event for members of your community to understand the type of surveillance that may be taking place of residents. \n\nHere is info about the event: What is the BRIC? \nWhen: April 2\, 2025 at 6:30pm \nWhere: Farnsworth House\, 90 South Street \nRegistration: https://mobilize.us/s/WyCRaF \nThere was a hearing in Boston City Hall last week that you can watch at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S39n4wkRIg   \nHere is information from the ACLU MA and MJL that is somewhat outdated but still relevant: \n– ACLU Breaking up with the BRIC \n– MJL Get the BRIC out of Boston

SUMMARY:Concord 250 Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Concord250 Planning Committee of the Arise & Resist Coalition \nWe are planning an anti-authoritarian outreach event at Concord250 on Saturday\, April 19\, a commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Thousands—potentially hundreds of thousands—will gather for a parade\, drone show\, and other local happenings throughout the day. Invitations have been extended to notable figures such as Donald Trump and King Charles III. \nThis will be a great opportunity to make a stand in front of a mass audience and appeal to attendees who are interested in joining local organizations for change. Our plan is to distribute handouts that feature shocking statistics and a list of local organizations working to resist or combat the issues at hand. \nOur core message is resisting the rise of authoritarianism in the United States led by extremist right-wing billionaires. We want to draw folks’ attention with anti-authoritarian sentiments that are widely agreed upon\, and then encourage participation in local groups/organizations that are fighting back and assisting communities in need. \nWe will meet at the Concord rail station at 1:30 for orientation.  Volunteers will then fan out in the area to distribute brochures and talk to attendees.  Meet back at the rail station at 4:00 to debrief.  Be sure to sign up to get full information\, do not just show up in Concord without contacting organizers ahead of time.   Do not drive to Concord without a parking plan. \nSign up here

SUMMARY:No Kings\, No War\, on Pride Day
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, June 14th\, former President Donald Trump will spend at least $100 million of our taxpayer dollars on a military parade—a spectacle meant to glorify power and project strength\, even as vital social services like Social Security\, SNAP\, and Medicaid face relentless cuts. \nOn the same day\, you and I must raise our voices in response. On June 14\, there will be a nationwide mobilization\, a grassroots day of protest to reject this corruption\, abuse of power\, and the creeping normalization of authoritarianism and militarism. \nTrump’s obscene event is not just a wasteful party at your and my expense. It is a deliberate embrace of militarism and strongman authoritarianism\, both of which threaten peace around the world and erode the foundations of democracy and civil rights here at home. History teaches us that military parades are not harmless displays; they are the pageantry of authoritarianism\, designed to intimidate dissent and normalize the idea that might makes right. \nThere will be hundreds of No Kings protests nationwide on June 14\, including over 130 in Massachusetts.   Find an event near you and bring your peace\, Palestine\, and Pride signs! \nIn Boston\, No Kings Day coincides with Pride Day on June 14.   We will amplify Pride by marching with our peace\, Palestine\, and Pride flags.We will not stand idly by while our queer and transgender brothers\, sisters and nonbinary siblings are erased by this administration. \nLogistics: MAPA supporters will assemble outside the CAVA restaurant on Boylston St\, between Dartmouth and Exeter St\, at 10:00am.  Bring Palestine and peace flags\, wear keffiyehs.  We will leaflet the crowd\, then join the parade which is supposed to start at 11:00.  The parade will last from approximately 11am-1pm. The festival in the Common will run from 12pm-3pm. Check out the official Boston Pride website for more specific information and timing of events. If you would like to volunteer directly with Boston Pride for the People\, please click here. \nWe’re fighting for democracy. Let’s make them listen.

SUMMARY:Annual Dinner 2025: Protecting Our Neighbors **SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 1st to celebrate a year of steadfast organizing and resistance! With authoritarianism on the rise\, the U.S. terrorizing civilians at home and across the globe\, and the continuation of the genocide in Gaza\, “protecting our neighbors” has never been more important. As we know\, the terror and militarization abroad inflicted by the U.S. will always come home\, and this year we honor those on the front lines fighting Trump’s agenda and protecting the most vulnerable – from Massachusetts to Gaza. \nThis year’s Peacebuilder Award recipients include the union responsible for the release of Rümeysa Öztürk – SEIU 509 and the founders of “Bearing Witness\,” Jared D. Berezin and Laurie Lynn Berezin\, who organize hundreds of Masssachusetts residents outside ICE headquarters in Burlington in ongoing weekly stand-outs. We also will also honor Susan McLucas and Paula Iasella for their longstanding work to free Julian Assange\, a man who worked to reveal the breath of U.S. war crimes. \nWe will present our 2025 Peace Leadership Award to Dr. Karameh Kuemmerle\, a Palestinan-American pediatric neurologist and co-founder of Doctors Against Genocide – an organization dedicated to mobilizing the medical community to respond to and prevent genocide and severe human rights abuses worldwide. She is affiliated with Harvard Medical School with research focusing on improving healthcare outcomes for refugee communities and addressing the impact of social determinents like racism. \nJoin us for and evening filled with great Caribbean food from Eunice’s Cuisine and a live performance of Palestinian and Arabic music by local band\, the Hawa Collective to celebrate another year of resistance!

SUMMARY:No Kings\, No War\, No ICE!
DESCRIPTION:We the People are We the Powerful.\nWe will not stand for another illegal foreign war or for an authoritarian takeover of the United States.\n \nTrump was defeated in Minneapolis and is losing in the courts\, and wants to escape focus on the Epstein files. \nNow\, in his biggest attack on democracy yet\, Trump\, working closely with Netanyahu\, has launched a massive unprovoked war of aggression against Iran. This war is a major violation of the U.S. constitution\, the UN charter and international law.  Its destructive impact is being felt across Middle East and the world. All this on top of Trump’s continued genocide in Palestine and phony “board of peace”\, gratuitous murder of scores of people in small boats\, seizure of oil tankers on the high seas\, criminal kidnapping of the president of Venezuela and illegal oil blockade to overthrow the government of Cuba. \nThe framers of the Constitution put the power to declare war in the hands of Congress for a reason.  We don’t want another war in the Middle East.  We need to end this illegal war and bring the troops home.  On March 28\, we will speak out\, expose President Trump’s lies\, and demand Congress defund this war.   \nThis war is costing a billion dollars a day – draining resources needed to sustain the well being of our neighbors and driving up the cost of everything.   But Trump is proposing a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget while attacking healthcare\, housing\, education\, and the climate. \nJoin us on the Boston Common and in cities and towns across Massachusetts to say: No Kings\, No War\, No ICE! \nIn Boston\, sign up with MAPA to amplify the antiwar message.  Meet at the MAPA table near the Embrace statue starting at 12pm to distribute our antiwar literature\, petitions and postcards.  Bring your antiwar\, anti-ICE\, anti-authoritarian signs and messages.  We’ll provide signs and literature! \nThe Embrace statue is near Tremont St.\, about half way between Park St. and Boylston St.  The MAPA table will be right next to the statue\, on the other side of it from Tremont St.  We will load in materials from Tremont St. \nTable Setup Starts: 12 pm \nPathways to Power (visibility walk throughout the city with signs and banners): 1-2pm \nRally: 2-4pm \nAction Tables Open: 1-5pm \nIn cities across Massachusetts\, sign up with MAPA to bring the antiwar message to your local No Kings protest.  Help organize the protest in your town\, work with local protest organizers\, and ensure that an antiwar message and speaker is foregrounded.  Bring antiwar signs\, banners and petitions to ensure that the No War\, No ICE message is prominent.  Print our literature or contact us to receive materials by postal. \nAdditionally\, everyone\, sign up for the overall No Kings III Boston mobilization or for the event in your own town. \n \nMAPA materials to be distributed at No Kings III\nPrint and use in your town\, or contact the office to get copies \nThe Peace Advocate newsletter – March 2026 \nStop the Wars – Bring our Troops Home general antiwar petition \nStop the War on Iran half page flyer \nStop Trump’s War of Aggression Iran war pamphlet \nStop Trump’s War of Aggression Iran war petition \nTime to End the Trump-Netanyahu Alliance Iran war petition \nStop the Continuing Genocide in Gaza petition \nStop Trump’s Threats against Cuba pamphlet \nStop the Illegal War on Venezuela pamphlet \nStop the Illegal War on Iran 18 x 24 coroplast yard sign \nStop the Illegal War on Iran 11 x 17 printable poster
